Did you mean mine or the person at the protest? I can assure you, my parents are not rich. They are middle class within the context of the area in which they live. A $500,000 house on Long Island is also a middle-class home...in the context of Long Island. Higher incomes needed to buy that home, but also higher cost of living to live there. In the home in which I grew up, my step-father worked in a carpentry facility, and my mother did in-home day care of infants and toddlers, in order to afford the (then) $200,000 home they bought. I wouldn't call that a "rich" set of parents.
